I never really grew up celebrating holidays. They just weren't a thing for my family. I'm currently married to someone who *adores* all of the trappings of traditional holidays. I get it, really. It's a forcing function for familial togetherness that otherwise might...not...happen.

I just a proof back from the printer and the asterisms are there, but now I keep expecting a knock at the door from the Glyph Police.

Well, yes, I hope so--I'm self-publishing! :D

Author here. Thank you, Steve!

100% I know, since my first effort was completely pantsed and, good golly, what an editorial nightmare that was, lol

Starting with a coherent outline before you write and sticking to it makes this stage *so* much easier.

Thanks, Sean. I appreciate you!

Mystery, of the cozy variety.

I write cozy mysteries, and about writing, coffee, and life in general. I am currently obsessed with making high-concept chocolate bonbons.

Terrifying. I should know...

Absolutely! <3
